Greetings Young Adults of Seattle!
As always, there are some great young adults events happening in the Seattle Jewish community this summer! In addition to enjoying yourself in the sun and at one of the Jewish young adult programs, you might be thinking about how you can become a leader within the Seattle Jewish community.
If this is true, the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle has a great opportunity for you! Our Leadership Development Program provides many ways for you to get involved.
Through the Program, starting this fall, you will learn both what it takes to become a leader in the Jewish community, and specific leadership skills that can be applied to your professional and volunteer life. Plus, you'll meet new people! Please contact me at ShaynaR@JewishInSeattle.org for more information or to apply!
New to Seattle or to the Jewish community? Email me and I'd love to take you to coffee!
All the best,
Shayna Rosen, Young Adult Division
